Yeah, I lost a job and to a point, I can understand why they did it. See, the company has a policy that all personal electronics be out of site either in pockets, purses or backpack. It is a security policy because they are afraid that someone will take pics or text someone's personal info. Ok, I get that. But to fire someone for a minor offense, that is just unheard of.
I have spent the last couple of days going from anger to tears and deep thought and come to one conclusion, it's their loss! I worked very hard for that company who, unfortunately, I can't name because of certain agreements. I sacrificed a lot for them, specifically dropping out of school for a while to accommodate their schedule. In the end, I did everything they asked and more and this is the way they treat their good employees? I hate to see how they treat the crappy ones. Oh yeah, they keep them. Fine! I don't need them and I don't need the heart ache. I have decided it's time to make lemon aid.
In the next few weeks, I'm going to finish up a project that I started while working there, it's actually something that I was prompted to do because of the way I had seen them treat their employees and is so relevant that the irony is amazing. I'm going to work on a couple of presentations and materials regarding employee/employer relations and also one for Customer Service Reps that are designed to teach those groups how to improve and become successful in business. And who knows, I may end up presenting them to that company. They would pay me to show them how to treat their employees. Wouldn't that be the epitome of irony? :-)
